Kristin Hannah Comfort And Joy Novels & Stories

The priest’s words echoed, hollow and meaningless. “I do,” Nuel said without hesitation, his voice smooth and controlled. When it was her turn, Olivia’s throat closed. The entire cathedral waited. Her father’s desperate eyes pleaded from the front row. Olivia swallowed the lump in her throat. “I… do.” Applause erupted around them, but Olivia felt nothing but cold. The kiss was a brush of lips—brief, detached, claiming, not cherishing. It was done. She was Mrs. Wilson now. ⸻

Irritating. Joy turned her head slowly. “Are you enjoying yourself, Miller?” Her voice was smooth, almost casual. A few heads turned nearby. Hannah didn’t even look up. “Immensely.” Joy’s lips curled upward—sharp and elegant. “Good. I’d hate for this to be boring when I break you.” There was a snort from Miriam, seated beside Moses, who muttered something into his cup. Someone coughed into their sleeve. But Hannah? She just smiled and met Joy’s eyes. “You’re welcome to try, Tau.”

"You'll always be like-like a side dish, like ketchup is to fries or mayo to burger. W-We won't always think about you, but when we feel that something within ourselves is missing- when ketchup is missing, we'll reach out to those moments with you to fill the gap. We'll reach out to you for comfort." Joy stared at Logan, her face devoid of any emotion and Logan stilled, contemplating if he broke her heart by rambling rubbish. Suddenly, Joy burst out laughing, her body shaking wildly. "God, no one has ever told me I'm like ketchup." "I-I . . . I'm sorry---" "No, shush." She placed her index finger on his lips for a millisecond and Logan already felt something stir in his stomach. "That was re

“Now, now, Kristin. Everyone has their own style. Let Faith choose what she likes.” Kristin rolled her eyes, her tone sharp as she replied, “Yeah, well, her ‘style’ is screaming for help. Seriously, Faith, do you even know what flatters you?” I clenched my teeth, my frustration bubbling beneath the surface. “I am just trying to find something simple and comfortable.” “Comfortable,” Kristin repeated flatly, setting her phone aside. She strode over to me with the air of someone preparing for battle. “You know what? I can’t watch this anymore. Move.”

Hannah said and rubbed her eyes to avoid crying. "Do you know what makes me happy the most? Seeing you and Joey happy and I will do anything to make sure you both are always happy." Clark replied and Hannah...she just hugged him and cried on his chest. TBC

“Rachel has been known to be loquacious and over time, I’ve found out that she tells people I’m a pain in her ass.” “What...” I laughed, “That’s so funny, Granny King. But she's only said nice things about you and lest I forget, you look so pretty ma.” “Oh, thank you my darling. I'm just telling you what I have to face every day, with Rachel” Granny King replied, her voice filled with warmth. “Don’t believe her, Amber,” Rachel said from the background. “You’re my best friend. You know I can’t do that.” “Oh please, Rachel. She will definitely be my best friend if she spends more time with me,” Granny King insisted.

Small rebellions hidden in plain sight. “I’m Joy,” she said, crossing her arms. “And trust me, you’re going to be bored out of your mind here.” Veronica frowned gently. “Joy—” “I’m just being honest,” Joy replied, eyes shifting back to Christiana. “You don’t look like the praying-at-five type.” Christiana’s lips curved slightly for the first time that evening. “I’m not.” Joy’s smile widened as if she had just found something interesting. “Well,” Joy said quietly, leaning closer, “then maybe you and I will get along just fine.”

I turned back to look at them again and again as I walked away. For a brief moment, it felt as if I could see the Wendy of my past life standing among the crowd, waving at me. Her lips moved, as though she were saying something. "This time, make sure you find true happiness!" I nodded silently to myself. I knew I would.

Stanley gently wiped her tears and softly comforted her, "That's all in the past. From now on, no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you." Sabrina wrapped herself around him. His body stiffened. He didn't embrace her, nor did he push her away. "You have to keep your word," Sabrina muttered. "When I gave birth to Hannah, I almost died. At the edge of life and death, all I saw was your face." Stanley comforted her again. After a while, Sabrina pulled away and wiped her tears. Seizing the moment, Stanley excused himself to use the bathroom. Once inside, he crouched down, frowning and clearly irritated.

Krista gave me a sly smile, and then she shrugged. "Well, there will be no one else to comfort us but us too." We shared a laugh. "You have a nice laugh, too, Allen." It was my turn to give Krista a sly smile. -- KATE I was never a fan of airports, so I was irritated that I was a few minutes early for Kelsea's arrival. I tapped my foot furiously on Aunt Hilda's red Tamaraw FX carpeted floor, my eyes still scanning the crowd going in and out through the window.
